    Attended both keynotes, but the data I’ve seen suggests Intels offerings are higher IPC + lower power VS the respective AMD AI CPUs.

    It sounds dumb, but honestly modern browsers feel way closer to the JRE than they did things designed to fetch and render sites.

    Probably need to check on this, but I’ve heard of issues around video decode and Firefox.

    With the hacker comment, in fairness the weakest link in a lot of orgs is often the human one. Ignoring obvious stuff like phishing links, people can be disillusioned by their empl…
